Hi All

Well an update on my Exhaust and Brake leaver.

I finally got in contact with the people who done them when I got Knocked off my bike nearly 3 years ago now (wheres the time gone)

well anyway they are Castle Chrome who done them and I had a word with the lady there who are doing it along with the Brake leaver and they will be put into the pipe line next week she told me so fingers crossed ha.... also the price I was quoted was £200 for the Exhaust but the leaver they wanted £60 ..so had a word again with her to say more like £30 so they said will see what they can do... but she was a lovely lady to talk to so if you want any Chrome work done have a word with her to see what they can do for you... Drop My name in I don`t mind lol here's the place below.

Hi Roy

I sure do know where your coming from with the problems with running rich. I went out on mine sunday as just fixed a left carb bowl from leaking for the 5th time. I have done everything from Flattening the float Bowl checking the float Hight, also tried allsorts of gasket seal,
anyway get back to the ride it was going Great for the first 5 miles then it started to splutter and nearly thought I was going to have to call out the Breakdown van. anyway I managed to get home... next day striped the left carb and found loads of the silicone all in the bowl and it blocked all the jets too ..... so after cleaning that all out and putting it in my Uatsonic for a deep clean put a very very thin layer of a new type of silicone on and left that over night and put it back on and went out for anther ride this afternoon and it was popping and banging a bit on that left side so pulled over tweaked the mixture screw and no more popping and it did all run fine..... I will take the spark plugs out tomorrow see what they look like ?

Getting back to what you say about the air filters ..... i did put a bit on a thread a while ago to say what I had done to mine, all the paper folds were so dirty I decided to cut them all out and put in Foam as well so all good there now,

Not thought about leaving the plastic box part out but yes might help with the rich running let us Know how it go`s without that on, also if it do make a lot of sucking sounds without that Ha

One more thing they seem to be one bike that Needs All the attention and one minute it runs lovely the next you think it is like an 60`s TV and need a slap to get the picture back ha..... well I must admit I do love riding it tho LOL           

Are Ok Ash

I will leave as is then

yes and they are loud horns too ha, I have one more cover but that is a bit scratched up I will see if I can get it out without going over the top trying to polish it out as some people do.

the other thing you asked was the silencers yes they are DS and they do sound great on the over run when you come in to a corner and shut down ..... also I took the baffles out and drilled a few more holes in them Not made it to loud but it do make it even better on that shut down 

Oh the other thing the indicators I made up some S/tubes on the lathe and found some indicators that looked close to Honda`s ones just to be a bit safer .......... and I don`t think they look to much out of place.

Thanks dave

Went out today for a 30 mile trip for a coffee go`s a Treat.

loads of people don't even know what it is..... one bloke today said what is it..........he had a Triumph T shirt on and was about 50 he should Know ha   

Hi Ash

Well that's great you got all the bikes and bits out ha.......... I look forward to all your build...... Funny enough I was out Dave silvers on saturday we went out me on My 67` bomber and my two mates one on a CB77 and his dad On a CL305.

I have still got to take some pictures of the Bomber Ash as I did say I would show you some when I finished it...... still got a few running probs but other than that she is Great and I love riding it.

well I did get a price of £250 ish so Not so bad ha.

But here is My Exhaust and Brake leaver and they don`t need any repair Well Not that I can see anyway.... and have No dents just need stripping and a light polish and re-chromed.

Thanks guy`s

Just found them but they seem to be a lot of money..... they want £250 for the Exhaust plus Vat ..... and £28 plus Vat for the rear brake Leaver.
